Stressors of Keto During the Holidays

You know how to eat Keto and you have been doing it successfully for some time now. It’s nothing new. However, the holidays do bring along some unique challenges that can get in your way.

One of those could be a simple temptation. You may be used to your current diet, but you are also used to your holiday traditions.

You may catch yourself looking forward to your favorite holiday dish, or loading your plate with goodies only to realize they are all carbs and sugar.

The other potential stressor might be even harder to overcome. That is your relative’s expectations and attitudes toward your diet.

These things are both tough to get over, but you can manage them to stay Keto during the holidays.
